Colorado’s Search for the “Snow-Less” Extended Through December 4
Video submissions from Atlanta to Singapore posted on www.snowatfirstsight.com; Snow At First Sight requirements eased to allow more to enter

DENVER (November 20, 2009) – Following the launch by Colorado to find three people who have never experienced snow, video submissions on www.snowatfirstsight.com have come in from around the world, including Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Thailand and Singapore. Contestants are vying to win a three-month Colorado winter vacation and a chance to learn to ski and snowboard, go snowshoeing, dog sledding, as well as enjoy the aprés ski lifestyle, spas and hot springs that Colorado is famous for.

In return, winners will be asked to blog and use social networking channels such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr to share their first snow experiences. The deadline for submitting a video (up to 60 seconds) on www.snowatfirstsight.com has been extended to December 4 and the voting deadline to December 11.

To make the contest more accessible, the Colorado Tourism Office has also announced that it will allow anyone who has never experienced snow before to enter as long as they can commit to being in Colorado for as short as two weeks and up to three months – all expenses paid. The videos currently posted on www.snowatfirstsight.com include a varied group of individuals eager to show why they deserve to experience snow for the first time this winter in Colorado. Recent entrants include:

Deena from Hawaii ponders the irony: people usually come to her home state for the vacation experience of a lifetime. But as a lifetime resident of Hawaii, Deena’s dream vacation is experiencing Colorado’s legendary powder for the first time.

Britney, hailing from Thailand, has never been to the U.S. and has never seen snow – but she’s ready. She wants to go dog sledding and create her own dessert using Colorado snow.

Trevor, a 21-year old Atlantan who can certainly carve up a street on his skateboard – as his video demonstrates – can’t wait to see what it’s like to snowboard on Colorado powder.

Mary, who has rarely traveled beyond the Southwest Florida area, is not an adventure junkie but said that the second she saw the contest, she knew that it would “help her expand her horizons.”

Visitors to www.snowatfirstsight.com can vote for their favorite video through December 11 and share it with their friends within their favorite social networking sites. Think you know someone who deserves the winter experience of a lifetime? They can upload a video submission to www.snowatfirstsight.com through December 4.

A total of 10 semi-finalists will score a free trip to Colorado during the two-day “audition” in early January. Out of the 10 semi-finalists, three will be selected by a panel of experts and will spend from two weeks to three months in Colorado from January to March.

About Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide and three million people in the U.S.—making it more common than multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease combined. It is caused by abnormal, excessive electrical discharges of the nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain. Epilepsy is characterized by a tendency to have recurrent seizures and defined by two or more unprovoked seizures. There are many different seizure types and epileptic syndromes. Roughly 20-30 percent of people living with epilepsy have either uncontrolled seizures or significant side effects secondary to medication. This highlights the ongoing need for the development of new AEDs. For more information about epilepsy, visit www.EpilepsyAdvocate.com.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In a concrete step to become a more diverse organization, Environmental Defense Fund has announced the creation of two paid, permanent diversity fellowships, lasting one year for each fellow. The first fellows started in October.

The fellows will come from diverse backgrounds, and EDF will recruit outstanding candidates who are recent college graduates, or recent graduates with advanced degrees. The fellows will have a demonstrated interest and training in environmental sciences or issues. Historically black colleges and universities, colleges with strong environmental programs, and law schools will be among the targets for recruitment.

“As an organization, we have recognized that we must do much more to provide opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds,” said David Yarnold, executive director of EDF. “This is not just a matter of fairness, although that was an important factor in our thinking. It’s also a matter of making our programs stronger so we can reach our strategic goals. A diverse staff and workplace will help us reach new constituencies, and bring valuable new perspectives to our work.”

“Our ambition is to become the leader within the environmental community on diversity issues,” Yarnold said.

The new fellows will work on discrete projects, and during their year at EDF, staff will help them develop skills they will find useful in their careers going forward, including writing, media, and public presentation.

People seeking more information about the new fellowships, including information on how to apply, should contact Kim Sharp at (512) 691-3414, or ksharp@edf.org. For more information about Environmental Defense Fund, interested candidates should go to www.edf.org.

National Contest Unveils Next-Generation Mobile Applications for Higher Education
DALLAS, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ — AT&T* today announced the winners of its second annual Big Mobile On Campus Challenge, a national higher education contest for mobile application development. The contest illustrates the ability to take extremely innovative ideas and develop them into mobile applications.

Prizes will be awarded to the grand prize winners at the Higher Ed Board of Advisors meeting today, and the winners will demonstrate their winning application during the EduCause Annual Conference on November 3-5, 2009, in Denver, Colorado.

The grand-prize winner is a team of full-time students from Harvard University. Alex Bick, Joy Ding, Drew Robb, Cameron Spickert and Winston Yan won for their “Rover” platform. They will split a $10,000 scholarship, and each team member will receive a mobile device of choice and a trip to the EduCause Annual Conference in Denver. “Rover” connects students with each other, their school and community. The core of Rover is a guidebook, enhanced by location-awareness and social networking features to inform students of what is happening in their campus through local deals, events, news and transportation. “Rover” is unique in having a live feed of deals that connects local businesses with students, creating interactions that allow for greater integration of students into the local community and vice versa.

The runners-up are Michael Hanley, Jennifer Palilonis, Suzy Smith and Vinayak Tanksale, staff members from Ball State University, and Erica Simone, a full-time student from Northeastern University.

The Ball State team is recognized for their interactive news and advertising application that allows students to create and deliver news stories, videos, interactive graphics and advertisements on a breaking news or weekly basis. The team members will share $5,000 in cash and receive a mobile device of choice each.

Ms. Simone of Northeastern University is recognized for a comprehensive and personalized mobile application, “UpperClass”. This application connects students, faculty, alumni and parents to key systems while on the go as well as popular social networking systems, such as Facebook and Twitter, to provide an immersive experience. She will receive a $5,000 scholarship and a mobile device of choice.

“The quality of submissions to our Big Mobile on Campus Challenge this year was outstanding, and it is clear that real-time access to information is more important than ever before for higher education students and staff,” said Chris Hill, vice president, mobility product management, AT&T Business Solutions. “The goal of our Big Mobile on Campus Challenge is to encourage students and staff to participate in the mobile evolution, and be innovators, not just consumers, of mobile applications. The winners this year clearly demonstrated undeniable ingenuity with their next-generation mobile applications. Their ideas will enhance education, community vitality and information access.
